WFOV Testbeds
Abstract
WFOV Testbeds are satellite platforms offering opportunities to demonstrate mission capabilities on-orbit and mitigate development risks for employing WFOV sensors. WFOV Testbeds include contractual options to integrate, test, and launch prototype, developmental WFOV payloads with a Government-owned free-flyer spacecraft or on a host government or commercially owned satellite. The WFOV Testbed will host the WFOV payload to demonstrate on-orbit mission performance. On-orbit data from the WFOV payload hosted on the WFOV Testbed is essential to develop and validate WFOV algorithms and on-board mission data processing throughput requirements for the Strategic Missile Warning mission. These two critical risk mitigation efforts support the potential to field future Strategic Missile Warning and/or multi-mission WFOV systems.
